Description

Intelligent driving methods, storage media and vehicles Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of intelligent driving technology, and more specifically, to an intelligent driving method, a storage medium, and a vehicle.

[0002] Background of the Invention

[0003] With the development of automotive technology, the adoption rate of navigation-assisted driving functions in the field of intelligent driving is increasing, and the enabling scenarios covered are also expanding. Existing navigation-assisted driving functions belong to advanced navigation-assisted driving functions, which utilize various sensors (such as cameras, radar, lasers, and ultrasonic sensors) and navigation devices installed on the vehicle to collect and analyze information about the vehicle's surrounding environment and road in real time, thereby assisting the driver in performing more precise and safer driving operations.

[0004] However, for users who are unfamiliar with advanced navigation-assisted driving functions, they may set the intelligent driving function switches too aggressively because they do not understand the original intention of each intelligent driving function switch, which may lead to safety hazards during the driving process. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, this disclosure provides an intelligent driving method, a storage medium, and a vehicle, so as to reduce the safety hazards caused by unfamiliarity with advanced navigation-assisted driving functions to a certain extent, while ensuring the user experience of navigation-assisted driving functions.

[0006] In a first aspect, this disclosure provides an intelligent driving method, comprising: acquiring a cruise novice mode activation command; controlling a vehicle to enter cruise novice mode upon receiving the cruise novice mode activation command, wherein at least one intelligent driving function switch associated with the cruise novice mode is set to a conservative state.

[0007] Secondly, this disclosure provides a computer storage medium that stores at least one instruction, which, when executed by a processor, implements the intelligent driving method described above.

[0008] Thirdly, this disclosure provides a vehicle including a vehicle controller, the vehicle controller comprising: a memory and a processor; the memory for storing at least one instruction; the processor for executing the at least one instruction to implement the intelligent driving method described above.

[0009] As can be seen from the above technical solution, this disclosure provides an intelligent driving method, a storage medium, and a vehicle. After receiving a cruise novice mode activation command, the vehicle is controlled to enter cruise novice mode based on the cruise novice mode activation command. Since at least one intelligent driving function switch associated with cruise novice mode is set to a conservative state, the vehicle can adopt a more cautious and conservative driving strategy in cruise novice mode. Thus, for users who are not familiar with advanced navigation assisted driving functions, while ensuring the experience of navigation assisted driving functions, the safety hazards caused by unfamiliarity with advanced navigation assisted driving functions can be reduced to a certain extent.

[0021] Methods of implementing the present invention

[0022] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this disclosure, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0023] This disclosure presents an intelligent driving method and related apparatus. The intelligent driving method and related apparatus can be applied to a cruise control novice mode. For vehicles equipped with cruise control, the cruise control function includes different levels of driving assistance functions, such as adaptive cruise control, intelligent cruise control, and navigation-assisted driving (NOA). Among these, NOA is a high-level navigation-assisted driving function. The cruise control novice mode refers to an assisted driving mode provided for novice users of the cruise control function, intended to improve the novice user's safe driving and assisted driving experience. The vehicle can be configured with different customized options related to assisted driving, allowing users to customize the style of the cruise control function. For example, a conservative / aggressive state switch. The conservative state corresponds to a more cautious and safe operating mode adopted by the intelligent driving assistance system during operation, while the aggressive state corresponds to a more proactive and active operating mode adopted by the intelligent driving assistance system during operation. For example, in the customized option for hands-free alarm sensitivity, the conservative state corresponds to setting the hands-free alarm sensitivity to sensitive to better remind the driver to take over. For example, in the customized option for overtaking and lane-changing style, the conservative state corresponds to setting the overtaking and lane-changing style to comfortable to reduce user panic, etc. After receiving the command to activate the cruise novice mode, the vehicle is controlled to enter cruise novice mode based on the command. Since at least one intelligent driving function switch associated with cruise novice mode is set to a conservative state, the vehicle can adopt a more cautious and conservative driving strategy in cruise novice mode. Therefore, for users who are not familiar with advanced navigation-assisted driving functions, while ensuring the experience of navigation-assisted driving functions, it can reduce the safety hazards caused by unfamiliarity with advanced navigation-assisted driving functions to a certain extent.

[0024] Referring to Figure 1, this disclosure presents a flowchart of an intelligent driving method. This intelligent driving method is applied to a vehicle controller, wherein the vehicle controller may include at least one of an intelligent driving domain controller and an in-vehicle audio-visual controller. The intelligent driving method may include:

[0025] Step S101: Obtain the command to enable cruise novice mode.

[0026] The cruise novice mode in this disclosure is mainly designed for users who are unfamiliar with advanced navigation-assisted driving functions. To facilitate user use, the cruise novice mode is set to the on state in the assisted driving mode settings before leaving the factory.

[0027] Currently, a "Navigation Novice Mode" button can also be set on the vehicle's central control screen, as shown in Figure 9. This allows users to choose whether to enable or disable the navigation novice mode as needed. In this disclosure, users can send a navigation novice mode activation command to the vehicle controller by touching the navigation novice mode button.

[0028] Among them, the cruise in the cruise novice mode of this disclosure may include: constant speed cruise, adaptive cruise, and NOA (Navigate on Autopilot).

[0029] Step S102: Based on the cruise novice mode activation command, control the vehicle to enter cruise novice mode.

[0030] The cruise novice mode is associated with at least one intelligent driving function switch, and all at least one intelligent driving function switch is set to a conservative state.

[0031] The "conservative mode" of the intelligent driving function switch typically refers to a more cautious and safer operating mode adopted by the intelligent driving assistance system during operation. This corresponds to safety-enhancing options among various customized settings. For example, the hands-off warning sensitivity might be set to "sensitive" to better alert the driver to take over; the overtaking and lane-changing style might be set to "comfort" to reduce user panic. In this mode, the intelligent driving system may restrict the activation of certain advanced functions or increase the requirements for driver monitoring and takeover to ensure safety and reliability during driving.

[0032] The "aggressive mode" of the intelligent driving function switch typically refers to a more proactive and aggressive operating mode adopted by the intelligent driving assistance system during operation. It corresponds to a more aggressive option than the conservative mode among various customized options. For example, setting the hands-free warning sensitivity to "Comfort" increases the hands-free detection tolerance time, requiring less frequent user intervention and making it more suitable for experienced drivers familiar with the intelligent driving functions. Setting the overtaking and lane-changing style to "Aggressive" enhances the speed, frequency, and efficiency of overtaking and lane-changing by the intelligent driving system. In this mode, the intelligent driving system may activate some advanced functions while reducing the need for driver monitoring and intervention, but this can introduce some safety hazards during driving.

[0033] Research has found that some novice drivers, unaware of the performance limits of advanced intelligent driving functions, set aggressive mode options in the personalized settings of advanced intelligent driving, leading to users not understanding and / or comprehending the vehicle's control intentions, and even problems such as failing to take over after a certain time limit.

[0034] For example, some novice drivers are unclear about the concept of "eyes on the road" during intelligent driving, and adjust the broadcast conciseness to "concise," causing some vehicles to miss the intended warning. Another example is the situation of "about to overtake or change lanes to the left," which requires the driver to observe road conditions. If novice drivers do not hear the broadcast reminder or are unaware of the need to observe road conditions, safety hazards may easily occur during driving.

[0035] To address the aforementioned issues, this disclosure includes a cruise control novice mode. When the vehicle enters cruise control novice mode, all intelligent driving function switches are set to a conservative state to improve driving safety and reliability. In cruise control novice mode, the intelligent driving system may disable or restrict some advanced functions. For example, the requirement for "eyes-on-the-loop" during intelligent driving is increased, reducing the duration of a single driver's hands-free and eyes-off operation. The simplicity of the announcements is adjusted to "standard," showcasing all the vehicle's intent announcement capabilities to novice users, thereby improving their perception of the assisted driving's intentions and making it easier for them to take over the vehicle at any time. For instance, in situations such as "approaching to overtake and change lanes to the left," the system needs to alert the novice intelligent driving driver that the assisted driving system is about to take control of the vehicle for overtaking and lane changing, and remind the novice intelligent driving driver to observe road conditions to avoid safety hazards caused by novice drivers failing to observe road conditions.

[0036] Additionally, in Beginner Cruise Control mode, the intelligent driving system may disable or restrict some advanced functions. For example, advanced functions include navigation-assisted driving, automatic on / off ramp entry and exit, and automatic overtaking and lane changing. Basic functions include adaptive cruise control, smart cruise control, and lane change confirmation via lever. Disabling or restricting these advanced functions not only reduces potential risks but may also lower the level of autonomous driving from a higher level (such as L3 or L4) to a lower level (such as L2). In other words, the intelligent driving system will adopt a more cautious and conservative driving strategy to reduce potential risks and dangers.

[0037] In practical applications, the intelligent driving function switches associated with the cruise novice mode can be one or more. For example, the intelligent driving function switches associated with the cruise novice mode can be any one or more of the following: overtaking and lane changing style switch, hands-free alarm sensitivity switch, intelligent driving voice broadcast switch, and vehicle alarm sound switch.

[0038] When the vehicle enters the cruise control beginner mode, all intelligent driving function switches associated with the cruise control beginner mode are set to a conservative state. For example, the overtaking and lane change style switch is set to a conservative state, the hands-free alarm sensitivity switch is set to normal mode to be in a conservative state, the intelligent driving voice broadcast switch is set to standard mode to be in a conservative state, and the vehicle alarm sound switch is set to high (i.e., maximum mode) to be in a conservative state.

[0039] When the vehicle enters the cruise novice mode, the operating mode of all intelligent driving function switches associated with the cruise novice mode in the conservative state is determined by the corresponding intelligent driving function.

[0040] In summary, this disclosure provides an intelligent driving method. After receiving a command to activate the cruise novice mode, the method controls the vehicle to enter the cruise novice mode based on the command. Since at least one intelligent driving function switch associated with the cruise novice mode is set to a conservative state, the vehicle can adopt a more cautious and conservative driving strategy in the cruise novice mode. Therefore, for users who are not familiar with advanced navigation-assisted driving functions, this method can reduce safety hazards caused by unfamiliarity with advanced navigation-assisted driving functions to a certain extent while ensuring the experience of navigation-assisted driving functions.

[0041] When the vehicle is in cruise novice mode, in order to improve the safety of driving, this disclosure prevents the operating state of each intelligent driving function switch associated with cruise novice mode from being changed to an aggressive state.

[0042] Therefore, in one embodiment, the intelligent driving method may further include:

[0043] When the vehicle is in the cruise novice mode, the operating state of at least one intelligent driving function switch associated with the cruise novice mode is set to a locked state.

[0044] This disclosure addresses a safety hazard by locking all intelligent driving function switches associated with the cruise control mode when the vehicle is in beginner mode. For example, all switches are grayed out and locked, preventing the user from adjusting their operation and switching from a conservative to an aggressive state. This improves driving safety.

[0045] For example, referring to Figure 2, assume that the intelligent driving function switches associated with the cruise novice mode include: vehicle alarm sound switch and intelligent driving voice broadcast switch.

[0046] The vehicle alarm sound switch includes three modes: low, medium, and high. When the vehicle alarm sound switch is set to "low", it is determined that the vehicle alarm sound switch is in an aggressive state. When the vehicle alarm sound switch is set to "high", it is determined that the vehicle alarm sound switch is in a conservative state.

[0047] The intelligent driving voice broadcast switch includes three modes: Off, Standard, and Concise. When the intelligent driving voice broadcast switch is "Off", it is determined that the intelligent driving voice broadcast switch is in an aggressive state. When the intelligent driving voice broadcast switch is "Standard", it is determined that the intelligent driving voice broadcast switch is in a conservative state.

[0048] When the vehicle is not in cruise control beginner mode, assuming the vehicle alarm sound switch is in "low" mode and the intelligent driving voice broadcast switch is in "off" mode, the modes of the vehicle alarm sound switch and the intelligent driving voice broadcast switch can be adjusted.

[0049] When the cruise control beginner mode is activated, the vehicle's alarm sound switch is set to "High" (in a conservative state), and the intelligent driving voice broadcast switch is set to "Standard" (in a conservative state). At this time, neither the alarm sound switch nor the intelligent driving voice broadcast switch can be adjusted.

[0050] When the vehicle is in a mode other than cruise novice mode, such as navigation mode, the intelligent driving function switches can be switched between conservative and aggressive states. To improve driving safety, this disclosure specifies that when the vehicle is in cruise novice mode, all intelligent driving function switches associated with cruise novice mode cannot be switched from a conservative to an aggressive state.

[0051] Therefore, in one embodiment, referring to FIG3, another intelligent driving method flowchart disclosed in this disclosure embodiment, the intelligent driving method may include the following steps.

[0052] Step S201: Obtain the adjustment command for the cruise novice mode.

[0053] In practical applications, adjustment commands for the cruise control novice mode can be sent via the vehicle's central control screen. These commands can be commands to delete intelligent driving functions associated with the cruise control novice mode, or commands to add intelligent driving functions associated with the cruise control novice mode.

[0054] Step S202: Determine whether the vehicle is in the cruise novice mode. If so, proceed to step S203.

[0055] Step S203: Output a message indicating that the adjustment command cannot take effect.

[0056] In practical applications, the prompts can be voice reminders, text reminders, etc., depending on the actual needs, and this disclosure does not impose any restrictions.

[0057] In summary, this disclosure aims to improve vehicle driving safety and prevent users from accidentally switching the intelligent driving function switch associated with the cruise novice mode from a conservative to an aggressive state due to improper operation. Upon receiving an adjustment command for at least one intelligent driving function switch associated with the cruise novice mode, the system first determines whether the vehicle is in the cruise novice mode. If the vehicle is in the cruise novice mode, it outputs a prompt message indicating that the adjustment command cannot take effect, thus preventing users from accidentally switching the intelligent driving function switch associated with the cruise novice mode from a conservative to an aggressive state and reducing potential safety hazards to a certain extent.

[0058] In one embodiment, if the determination in step S202 is negative, the method may further include:

[0059] Step S204: Perform the corresponding adjustment operation according to the adjustment instruction.

[0060] This disclosure allows for the execution of corresponding operations based on the user's adjustment needs when it is determined that the vehicle is not in cruise novice mode, such as adjusting the vehicle alarm sound to "medium".

[0061] This disclosure provides an explanation of how, when the vehicle is in cruise novice mode, the intelligent driving function switches associated with cruise novice mode cannot be adjusted. However, when the vehicle is not in cruise novice mode, the intelligent driving function switches associated with cruise novice mode can be adjusted, for example, by adding or deleting intelligent driving function switches associated with cruise novice mode.

[0062] In one embodiment, for the case where the adjustment instruction is a smart driving function deletion instruction, referring to Figure 4, another smart driving method flowchart disclosed in this embodiment of the present disclosure, the smart driving method may include:

[0063] Step S301: Obtain the adjustment command for the cruise novice mode.

[0064] In this embodiment, the adjustment command is a command to delete the intelligent driving function.

[0065] Step S302: Determine whether the vehicle is in cruise novice mode. If not, proceed to step S303.

[0066] Step S303: In response to the adjustment instruction being an intelligent driving function deletion instruction, extract the identifier of the first driving function switch to be deleted from the intelligent driving function deletion instruction.

[0067] In practical applications, when it is necessary to delete a certain intelligent driving function switch associated with the cruise novice mode, the intelligent driving function deletion command will carry the first driving function switch identifier corresponding to the first target intelligent driving function switch to be deleted.

[0068] Step S304: Determine the corresponding first target intelligent driving function switch based on the first driving function switch identifier.

[0069] In practical applications, there is a unique correspondence between the first target intelligent driving function switch and the corresponding first driving function switch identifier, so that the unique corresponding first target intelligent driving function switch can be determined based on the first driving function switch identifier.

[0070] Step S305: Control the first target intelligent driving function switch to disconnect the association with the cruise novice mode.

[0071] In summary, this disclosure, by decoupling the first target intelligent driving function switch from the cruise novice mode, allows the first target intelligent driving function switch to no longer be limited to a conservative state when the vehicle enters cruise novice mode. Users can decide whether to set the first target intelligent driving function switch to a conservative or aggressive state based on their actual needs. Using the decoupling method disclosed in this disclosure, users can decide which intelligent driving function switches to decouple from the cruise novice mode according to their own needs, thereby meeting personalized setting requirements under different vehicle operating conditions.

[0072] In one embodiment, regarding the case where the adjustment instruction is added to the intelligent driving function, see Figure 5, a flowchart of another intelligent driving method disclosed in this embodiment. The intelligent driving method may include:

[0073] Step S401: Obtain the adjustment command for the cruise novice mode.

[0074] In this embodiment, the adjustment command is a command to add intelligent driving functions.

[0075] Step S402: Determine if the vehicle is in cruise novice mode. If not, proceed to step S403.

[0076] Step S403: In response to the adjustment instruction, add an instruction for the intelligent driving function, extract the identifier of the second driving function switch to be added from the intelligent driving function addition instruction.

[0077] In practical applications, when a new intelligent driving function switch needs to be added in the cruise novice mode, the intelligent driving function addition command will carry the identifier of the second driving function switch corresponding to the second target intelligent driving function switch to be added.

[0078] Step S404: Determine the corresponding second target intelligent driving function switch based on the second driving function switch identifier.

[0079] In practical applications, there is a unique correspondence between the second driving function switch identifier and the second target intelligent driving function switch, so that the unique corresponding second target intelligent driving function switch can be determined based on the second driving function switch identifier.

[0080] Step S405: Control the second target intelligent driving function switch to establish an association with the cruise novice mode.

[0081] In summary, this disclosure establishes a relationship between the second target intelligent driving function switch and the cruise novice mode. When the vehicle enters cruise novice mode, the second target intelligent driving function switch becomes conservative. Therefore, for users unfamiliar with advanced navigation-assisted driving functions, this approach ensures a good navigation-assisted driving experience while mitigating safety risks arising from unfamiliarity with these functions. Furthermore, by using the relationship establishment method disclosed in this disclosure, users can decide which intelligent driving function switches to associate with cruise novice mode according to their needs, thus meeting personalized setting requirements under different vehicle operating conditions.

[0082] Intelligent driving safety switches play a crucial role in vehicles, primarily providing additional safety features to ensure the safety of the vehicle and its passengers in specific situations. Examples of intelligent driving safety switches include automatic emergency braking switches, lane departure warning switches, door opening warning switches, forward collision warning switches, emergency steering avoidance switches, and rear collision warning switches. Under normal circumstances, these intelligent driving safety switches are typically in an aggressive state to ensure the safety of the vehicle and its passengers in specific situations. Setting these switches to a conservative state would reduce the safety of the vehicle and its passengers. Therefore, this disclosure limits the association of only non-intelligent driving safety switches with the cruise control beginner mode.

[0083] In one embodiment, step S405 may specifically include:

[0084] Determine whether the second target's intelligent driving function switch is a preset intelligent driving safety type switch;

[0085] If not, the control establishes an association between the second target intelligent driving function switch and the cruise novice mode.

[0086] Among them, the preset intelligent driving safety switches include, but are not limited to, automatic emergency braking switch, lane departure warning switch, door opening warning switch, forward collision warning switch, emergency steering and avoidance switch, and rear collision warning switch.

[0087] In one embodiment, if the second target intelligent driving function switch is a preset intelligent driving safety type switch, a notification is output indicating that the association between the second target intelligent driving function switch and the cruise novice mode has failed to be established.

[0088] In summary, this disclosure, in the process of establishing a relationship between the second target intelligent driving function switch and the cruise novice mode, first needs to determine whether the second target intelligent driving function switch is a preset intelligent driving safety type switch. Only when the second target intelligent driving function switch is not a preset intelligent driving safety type switch will the relationship between the second target intelligent driving function switch and the cruise novice mode be established. Under normal circumstances, intelligent driving safety type switches are in an aggressive state to ensure the safety of the vehicle and passengers in specific situations, while intelligent driving function switches in cruise novice mode are in a conservative state. This disclosure, by limiting that only non-intelligent driving safety type switches can establish a relationship with the cruise novice mode, achieves the goal of meeting the user's personalized setting needs under different vehicle operating conditions while ensuring the safety of the vehicle and passengers in specific situations.

[0089] In one embodiment, after the vehicle enters cruise novice mode, the intelligent driving method may further include:

[0090] Obtain the command to exit the novice cruise mode;

[0091] Based on the cruise novice mode exit command, the vehicle is controlled to exit the cruise novice mode, and the at least one intelligent driving function switch associated with the cruise novice mode is restored to the memory value before the vehicle entered the cruise novice mode.

[0092] In practical applications, users can input the command to exit the cruise control mode by pressing the cruise control novice mode button on the in-vehicle central control screen. Since the intelligent driving function switch associated with cruise control mode is locked when the vehicle is in cruise control novice mode, it is necessary to restore the intelligent driving function switch associated with cruise control mode to its previous state after exiting cruise control novice mode, in order to restore the vehicle to its state before entering cruise control novice mode.

[0093] For example, referring to Figure 6, assume that the intelligent driving function switches associated with the cruise control beginner mode include: a vehicle alarm sound switch and an intelligent driving voice broadcast switch. When the vehicle enters cruise control beginner mode, the vehicle alarm sound switch is set to "High" to a conservative state, and the intelligent driving voice broadcast switch is set to "Standard" to a conservative state. At this time, the modes of both the vehicle alarm sound switch and the intelligent driving voice broadcast switch cannot be adjusted.

[0094] When the vehicle exits the cruise control novice mode, the vehicle alarm sound switch returns to the "low" mode, and the intelligent driving voice broadcast switch returns to the "off" mode. At this time, the modes of the vehicle alarm sound switch and the intelligent driving voice broadcast switch can be adjusted.

[0095] Corresponding to the above method embodiments, this disclosure also discloses an intelligent driving device.

[0096] Referring to Figure 7, a schematic diagram of the structure of an intelligent driving device disclosed in this embodiment is shown. This device is applied to a vehicle controller and may include:

[0097] The command acquisition unit 501 is used to acquire the command to enable the cruise novice mode.

[0098] The cruise novice mode in this disclosure is mainly designed for users who are unfamiliar with advanced navigation-assisted driving functions. To facilitate user use, the cruise novice mode can be enabled by default when the vehicle leaves the factory.

[0099] Currently, a "Navigation Novice Mode" button can also be set on the vehicle's central control screen, allowing users to decide whether to activate the cruise control novice mode based on their needs. In this disclosure, users can send a cruise control novice mode activation command to the vehicle controller by touching the cruise control novice mode button.

[0100] Among them, the cruise in the cruise novice mode of this disclosure may include: constant speed cruise, adaptive cruise, and NOA (Navigate on Autopilot).

[0101] Cruise novice mode entry unit 502 is used to control the vehicle to enter cruise novice mode based on the cruise novice mode activation command.

[0102] In this context, at least one intelligent driving function switch associated with the cruise novice mode is set to a conservative state.

[0103] The intelligent driving function switches are all set to a conservative state to improve the safety and reliability of the driving process. In this state, the intelligent driving system may disable or restrict some advanced functions, such as automatic lane changing and autonomous parking, to reduce potential risks. It may also lower the level of autonomous driving from a higher level (such as L3 or L4) to a lower level (such as L2). In other words, the intelligent driving system will adopt a more cautious and conservative driving strategy to reduce potential risks and dangers.

[0104] In practical applications, the intelligent driving function switches associated with the cruise novice mode can be one or more. For example, the intelligent driving function switches associated with the cruise novice mode can be any one or more of the following: overtaking and lane changing style switch, hands-free alarm sensitivity switch, intelligent driving voice broadcast switch, and vehicle alarm sound switch.

[0105] When the vehicle enters the cruise control beginner mode, all intelligent driving function switches associated with the cruise control beginner mode are set to a conservative state. For example, the overtaking and lane change style switch is set to a conservative state, the hands-free alarm sensitivity switch is set to normal mode to be in a conservative state, the intelligent driving voice broadcast switch is set to standard mode to be in a conservative state, and the vehicle alarm sound switch is set to high (i.e., maximum mode) to be in a conservative state.

[0106] When the vehicle enters the cruise novice mode, the operating mode of all intelligent driving function switches associated with the cruise novice mode in the conservative state is determined by the corresponding intelligent driving function.

[0107] In summary, this disclosure provides an intelligent driving device that, upon receiving a command to activate the cruise novice mode, controls the vehicle to enter cruise novice mode. Since at least one intelligent driving function switch associated with the cruise novice mode is set to a conservative state, the vehicle can adopt a more cautious and conservative driving strategy in cruise novice mode. Thus, for users unfamiliar with advanced navigation-assisted driving functions, while ensuring the experience of navigation-assisted driving functions, it can reduce safety hazards caused by unfamiliarity with advanced navigation-assisted driving functions to a certain extent.

[0108] In one embodiment, the intelligent driving device may further include:

[0109] A lock state setting unit is used to set the operating state of at least one intelligent driving function switch associated with the cruise novice mode to a locked state when the vehicle is in the cruise novice mode.

[0110] In one embodiment, the intelligent driving device may further include:

[0111] An adjustment instruction acquisition unit is used to acquire adjustment instructions for the cruise novice mode;

[0112] A determination unit is used to determine whether the vehicle is in the cruise novice mode;

[0113] The prompt information output unit is used to output a prompt information indicating that the adjustment command cannot be effective when the vehicle is in the cruise novice mode.

[0114] In one embodiment, the intelligent driving device may further include:

[0115] The deletion response unit is used to extract the first driving function switch identifier to be deleted from the intelligent driving function deletion instruction in response to the adjustment instruction being an intelligent driving function deletion instruction when the vehicle is not in the cruise novice mode.

[0116] The first determining unit is configured to determine the corresponding first target intelligent driving function switch based on the first driving function switch identifier.

[0117] The association removal unit is used to control the first target intelligent driving function switch to remove the association relationship with the cruise novice mode.

[0118] In one embodiment, the intelligent driving device may further include:

[0119] An additional response unit is used to extract the second driving function switch identifier to be added from the intelligent driving function addition instruction in response to the adjustment instruction for adding the intelligent driving function when the vehicle is not in the cruise novice mode.

[0120] The second determining unit is used to determine the corresponding second target intelligent driving function switch according to the second driving function switch identifier;

[0121] The association establishment unit is used to control the second target intelligent driving function switch to establish an association with the cruise novice mode.

[0122] In one embodiment, the association establishment unit can specifically be used for:

[0123] Determine whether the second target intelligent driving function switch is a preset intelligent driving safety type switch;

[0124] If not, the control establishes an association between the second target intelligent driving function switch and the cruise novice mode.

[0125] In one embodiment, the intelligent driving device may further include:

[0126] Exit command acquisition unit, used to acquire cruise novice mode exit command;

[0127] The cruise novice mode exit unit is used to control the vehicle to exit the cruise novice mode based on the cruise novice mode exit command, and restore the at least one intelligent driving function switch associated with the cruise novice mode to the memory value before the vehicle entered the cruise novice mode.
